There’s nothing new in regards to the extensively startled eyes of characters who’ve come head to head with a scary ghost or seen paranormal strikes performed by a vengeful spirit. We’ve seen all of it, again and again. If not within the Aranmanai franchise, then within the Kanchana sequence or a whole lot of different horror movies from world wide. Over the years, we have been topic to the concern of leaping of every kind. If one continues to react to extreme intimidation ways, it doesn’t imply that the director has managed to succeed. It is in human nature to tremble when one thing ugly or horrifying is available in entrance of us. Any 10-year-old with a ghost masks can do it. Then, what is the level of a director with over 30 years of expertise spending a fortune on a movie to attain the identical impact?
There is nothing novel about Aranmanai 3. At the middle of the story is a big palace with a darkish historical past. And someplace within the nook of this palace there’s a closed room. Many ghostly mysteries stay buried so long as the room is locked. But, as soon as it opens, it exudes a darkish drive that’s virtually not possible to cease. Does the abstract sound acquainted? This is as a result of Sundar C, who wrote, directed and acted on this movie, is closely drawn to Chandramukhi, which was a remake of the Malayalam hit Manichitrathazhu. Instead of the track “Ra Ra”, which is a lady’s craving to satisfy her lover, we get “Sengandhale”, a mom’s lullaby, from a room that has now grow to be a haven for supernatural powers.
The solely distinction is Sundar CK Ravi, who, not like Rajinikanth’s Dr Saravanan, has no obvious expertise for coping with forces past his can. He can’t learn thoughts like Saravanan. He would not appear to have the intelligence and talent to dodge ghosts. But, for all his shortcomings, he’s the one savior we meet on this movie. Meanwhile, Arya’s Saravanan is simply used as eye sweet. Apart from flexing her biceps again and again, Arya would not get to do a lot on this movie. The identical destiny occurs with different actors as effectively. Not a single actor from the forged of Raashi Khanna, Vivek, Yogi Babu, Andrea Jeremiah and Sampath Raj has a significant function in what can safely be known as the weakest movie of the yr.
In one scene, Raashi Khanna’s Jyoti survives an assassination try by a ghost. Typically, an individual who has simply been attacked by a darkish drive will likely be in a state of shock. But, she goes again to mattress for a very good evening’s sleep as if nothing had occurred. It involves haunting her once more the subsequent time she exhibits any concern for the darkish entity. The characters all spend the evening taking part in hide-and-seek and hiding in heavy jewellery, however not a single individual will be discovered when the ghost is chasing a small baby. And these complaints do not even make up 10 % of the movie’s total downside.
It is tough to imagine that Aranmanai 3 comes from the thoughts of a director who made Ambe Shivam. “After doing Ambe Shivam, I suffered more losses than gains. I did that film with all my heart. But, because of that film, I had to sit at home (without work) for almost a year. When people see me they ask me why I am not doing such a film now. And when I hear this, I get angry, not happy. I feel like asking them where they were when they were needed. Now people watch and appreciate the movie on DVD and on the internet. But, if he had supported this film upon its release, I would have been inspired to do more such films,” Sundar Si had earlier mentioned on a tv present.
We get the flicks we deserve. When we fail to understand Ambe Shivam, Aranmanai 3 is what we get.
